Is this the right forum for me?
Hello!
I just recently joined, searching for discussion on music and equipment. Bought my first set of "high end" gear in 1972, a Marantz 2270 receiver. Only recently sold it as I wasn't using it and it was just sitting on a shelf.
Had gone to Luxman equipment in the early 90's, and basically stuck with it until 2019, when I decided to get a new system.
I listened to a lot of gear at a local fine audio shop and decided on a modest set of equipment that fit my needs. A fairly simple system, just a Naim Uniti Star which is an all-in-one CD player, streamer and integrated amp. For speakers a set of Goldenear Reference. I later added a Goldenear "Super Sub" to bring out the lows a bit better. I added high end connection and power cables and a power conditioner.
The sound from this system is many steps up from what I had, but I realize it is not what some of you have after reading some of the posts.
My question is, am I worthy of being called an "Audiofile"? I just turned 70 and I listen to music all the time, way more than TV or other media. My hearing is not the best and I wear hearing aids, so my level of music enjoyment is somewhat compromised.
I do enjoy the discussions and reviews of high end equipment, just not sure I "fit in". Thanks for your comments in advance!
Tom

Thanks to all for the responses and support. Looking forward to the shared knowledge and opinions. Music is a big part of my life and I’d be lost without it. I probably will read way more posts than posting myself, but I'll share where appropriate. One of the things I have enjoyed the most so far is all of the sharing of music choices. I am always looking for new (or old) music to add to my collection. I still buy CDs but have them all on a NAS so I can easily select my listening pleasure. Thanks again, Tom |
@bipestuff - Hi Tom - I'm glad you put up that thread about Jethro Tull in the 'Music' section. Discussions like that are more than welcome! |
